Montreal Canadiens vs. Detroit Red Wings Predictions

The Red Wings have shown a mixed performance this season, with a slightly better win percentage than the Canadiens. Their offense has been led by right winger Alex DeBrincat, who despite a recent goal drought, remains their top scorer with nine goals this season. Dylan Larkin has also been a key contributor, leading the team with 17 points. However, the Red Wings’ power play has been inconsistent, failing to convert in their last game against the Rangers. Defensively, they have been slightly better than the Canadiens, but will need to step up their game to secure a win.

On the other side, the Canadiens are struggling to find their footing this season. Despite a decent start from their top players, including right winger Cole Caufield and center Sean Monahan, the team has been unable to string together consistent wins. Caufield has been a bright spot, averaging a point per game, while Monahan has shown signs of a career resurgence with 11 points in 12 games. However, the Canadiens’ offense ranks 20th in expected goals and their defense has been worse, indicating a need for improvement on both ends of the ice.

The key matchup to watch in this game will be between the Red Wings’ top scorer, DeBrincat, and the Canadiens’ netminder, likely to be Sam Montembeault. DeBrincat will be eager to end his goal drought, while Montembeault, who has been solid in his five starts, will be looking to keep the Red Wings’ offense at bay. This game could be a high-scoring affair, and the team that can capitalize on their power play opportunities and tighten up defensively will likely come out on top.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Detroit Red Wings Pick

Based on the recent performance and trends of both teams, the Detroit Red Wings seem to be the safer bet for this matchup. Despite their recent loss to the New York Rangers, the Red Wings have shown a stronger performance this season compared to the Canadiens. Their top scorer, Alex DeBrincat, despite a recent goal drought, has been a key contributor to their offense, and if he manages to find the back of the net in this game, it could significantly boost the Red Wings’ chances of securing a win. Additionally, the Red Wings have had the upper hand in their recent encounters with the Canadiens, winning three out of their last four matchups.

On the other hand, the Canadiens are currently on a four-game losing streak and have been struggling to find consistency in their performance. Their offense, led by Cole Caufield and Sean Monahan, has shown promise, but they have been unable to convert this into consistent wins. Their defense has also been a concern, with a worse performance compared to the Red Wings. While their netminder, Sam Montembeault, has been solid in his starts, he will be up against a strong Red Wings offense and will need to be at his best to keep them at bay. Considering these factors, the Detroit Red Wings moneyline bet seems to be the more promising pick for this game.

The Pick: Detroit Red Wings -170 (Bet365)
